In this episode, our co-host João Moita discusses with Tami Reiss how you can create impact through a side project, translate product experience into product sense, and how Tami has helped companies improve their product craft. She also discusses how a product coach can help individuals and companies. Tami strongly believes that working on a Product can be a way to deliver value and create an impact in people's lives and companies. Throughout her career, Tami has focused on providing value as a product manager, CPO at a VC firm, and, more recently, as a product leader coach.
